We have an open fire and 2-3 years of logs to burn. Can I fit a back boiler and hook it up into the radiator pipes circuit thereby putting heat into the circuit, which will, hopefully, reduce my gas bill? We have a standard Potterton Gas Boiler (not Combi), with a circulating pump.

Are you planning to burn wood all day/night?
Obviously this will only get the system hot when the log fire has generated enough heat to warm the water up.
What do you intend to do for central heating first thing in the morning as I assume you won't leave the fire in all night?

not as easy as just teeing in. but , yes you can marry two boilers together.can be done with a twin coil cylinder or use of a neutralizer(dunsley) for best results.that way you can have hot water and heating off either or both boilers.
